Solution(By Examveda Team)

The term recurrent selection was coined by Hull in 1945.
He proposed a breeding method that was termed "recurrent selection for specific combining ability."
Recurrent selection means repeated cycles of selection and breeding aimed at the gradual genetic improvement of a few key traits in a single species. The benefits of breeding are cumulative in that each cycle or generation of improvement builds upon advances made in prior generations.
